SADI R ON Application filed July 7,

To all whom it may concern:

Be. it known that I, F RANK DOUGHERTY, a citizen of the United States, residing-at Cheyenne, in the county of Laramie and State of lVyoming, have invented new and useful Im rovements in Sadiron Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to electric heating devices, particularly to electric stoves and has for its object the provision of a stand upon which may be supported in inverted position an ordinary electric iron whereby the iron may be used as a stove for carrying out any desired eookingoperatiomthe device being particularly advantageous for use by those having access to current and possessing an iron but not being in position to afford the rather expensive regular electric stove.

Another object is the provision of a device of this character which may be very quickly and easily disassembled so as to facilitate its storage in a small space or ship ment in a small package, the device being for this reason easily capable of being packed in a suitcase or satchel so as to be carried about by travelers.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, eflicient and durable in service and a general improvement in the art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illus trated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device in use,

Figure 2 is a plan view,

Figure 3 is an elevation at right angles to Figure 1,

Figure 4 is a cross section on the line 4.4 of Figure 2 and Figure 5 is a view of the blank from which one of the sides is formed.

Referring more particularly to the drawings l have shown my device as comprising a trapezoidal base 10 formed of sheet metal and provided at its edges with downwardly FA'EENT FFEECE.

bent into the necessary shape. Each side 19 are designed to sup-port an electric iron A which is disposed thereupon in inverted position while the tongues 18 operate to engage against the edgesof the iron and prevent lateral displacement thereof. The handle B of the iron is received between the side members 13 as shown. If desired the front edges of the side members,that is, the edges near the point of the iron, may be cut away in a V-shape as shown at 20.

Located below the base plate 10 are transverse extending strips 21 which have downturned ends 22 terminating in bearing feet 23. Each of these strips 21 is formed with slots 24: and these slots register with the slots 12 in the base plate. The side members 13 are held in adjusted position upon the base plate by means of screws 25 which pass through the holes 16 in the cars 15 and also through the slots 12 and 24 and which carry clamping nuts 26. By virtue of the provision of the slots it is apparent that the side members'13 may be moved toward or from each other as the case may be so as to properly support electric irons of difi'erent s1zes.

In the use of the device it will be seen that after the iron is mounted upon the side members, articles to be cooked or heated may be placed upon the iron. 7 The device is of great advantage to travelers and willbe'found of great benefit for vheating shaving water, milk used in the nursery, and other purposes. When the device is not in use it is readily apparent that the screws may be re, moved and the side members detached and laid fiat upon the base so as to form a compact parcel which will occupy very little room in storage or transportation.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention it is of course to be understood that'l reserve the ing right to make such changes in the form, con struction and arrangement of parts as Will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention I claim:

1. A device of the character described comprising a supporting base and a pair of spaced upstanding side members mounted on said base and adjustable toward and from each other, said side members being formed at their upper edges with upstandtongues and inwardly extending flanges.

2. A supporting stand for electric irons comprising a trapezoidal shaped base provided at its corners with slots, a pair of side members disposed upon said base and havin ears resting thereon and provided with he es registering with said slots, transverse strips mounted below the base and having downturned ends terminating in bearing feet, said strips being formed with slots registering with said first named slots, screws passing through said holes and the registering slots, the upper edges of said side members having means to support an electric iron, said side members being adjustable to- Ward or from each other for supporting irons of different sizes.

3. A device of the character described comprising a base, supporting feet for the base, a pair of upstanding side members detachably mounted upon the base and adjustable toward or from each other, upwardly extending tongues formed integrally at the upper edge of the side members and engageable with the outer edges of an electric iron disposed in inverted position upon the side members, and flanges on the upper edges of said side members between said tongues and extending inwardly to support the iron.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

FRANK DOUGHERTY.
